The SURPRISE!!!!!

2 pm…….Grammie & Ana head to the library for some time together (Ana thinks)

2 pm-4 pm……Mommy puts babies to bed & decorates, arranges party favors, & sets out food.

4 pm……..babies start to wake up & Mommy PRAYS the older one doesn’t choose Friday to figure out how to climb up on the table!!

4:55 pm……the first guests begin to trickle in……giggling & asking all sorts of questions:

“Does Ana know?”

“Where is she?”

“When will she be back?”


The waiting commenced…..

And Grammie did her job well,

since all the girls were pacing the floor while having a giggle fest for over 45 min!!!

The laughter eventually made it’s way to my room,

where the girls could look out the window for the approaching red van.

It turned the corner:

And…….

The screeches of “Quiet!” “Here she comes!” & “Remember to hide in the kitchen!” proceeded me down the stairs!

Then……the long awaited moment!

She opened the door to this!

The pictures tell “THE REST OF THE STORY” best!

Playing dress-up!


Thank-you, Tia (AUNT) Shannon, for all your hard work on the party!
